Anders Lassen (22 September 1920 - 9 April 1945) was a Danish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for
gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

He joined the British Commandos in February 1941. On 9 April 1945 at Lake Comacchio, Italy, on Operation Roast, Major Lassen was ordered
to take a patrol and raid the north shore of the lake, causing as many casualties and as much confusion as possible to give the impression
of a major landing. In the face of overwhelming enemy numbers he fulfilled his mission, three positions being wiped out, and when he
was mortally wounded he refused to be evacuated so that the withdrawal should not be impeded and his men's lives endangered.

His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Museum of Danish Resistance where this was photographed. He also received the King Christian
X Memorial Medal, the Military Cross and two Bars, The Greek War Cross, The 1939-45 Star, The Africa Star, The Italy Star, The
Defence Medal, and The War Medal.

His grave is located in a military graveyard near Argenta, Italy.
